Verbal pact between Marcos Alonso and Barça for next summer

Xavi Hernández asked all the summer to the sportive direction of the FC Barcelona a footballer with experience to reinforce the left side. The Barça needed a player that competed with Jordi Alba and that even could put in the eleven of the team culé. The elected for the trainer was Marcos Alonso. His signing from Chelsea demoró until the last day and even finish being inscribed in LaLiga a day after the closing of the market after terminating his agreement with the English club.

The big pre-season made by Alejandro Balde surprised to the press, the fans and to the own technical body. The plans of the egarense with the defender of The Masia went through a cession and decided that it remained in the Barça, going in in the first parties of the course like left side. Xavi finished betting by the canterano and leaving from the second party of League in the bench to Alba.

Marcos Alonso is called to play the important parties in the left side of the Barça this season and also to continue in the staff the next season. The announcement of his signing was not a surprise, but yes that it signed only by a season when all seemed to indicate that it would do it by two. Both parts, as it aims 'Sport', have pactado a commitment to extend his links a year more.

For the highest level

In the visit to the Bayern in the Allianz Sand were not neither Balde neither Alba. In spite of arriving in the last minute to last hour and to having played only some minutes in Cádiz, the technical body gave the titularity to Marcos Alonso in search of a much more physical defence in front of the characteristic power of the Germans. The Madrilenian side answered to the confidence with a big party, defending Musiala, Pavard, Mazraoui and Sané, although yes it loaded with an error.

The side lost the mark of Lucas Hernández in the corner that meant the first goal of the Bayern, an error by which apologised to his mates. In front of the good party in defence, and some actions in attack, the technical body gave by approved the party of Alonso, something that reassured to the player and did him see that all remained more than happy with his performance.
